Not all our degus are still with us, and we would like to have a separate poll for them. Please ignore the part of the poll title that includes "rehomed degus," they can be included in the living degus poll.

Wow mater!! I'm lucky to only have to euthanize one so far was Herc at 5 and 1/2 years (put at 5 because it wasn't quite to the 6 month mark yet)
mine still living are Einstein (5 1/2), Aslan (4 I think? oops I forgot how long I have had him), and Darwin (around 2 years - not completely sure)

You will be coming up on two years with Aslan. I think he could be four now.
